Connecticut State Data Plan

The Connecticut State Data Plan serves as a framework for the state’s executive branch agencies to engage in a consistent approach to data stewardship, use, and access. The State Data Planis not just an open data plan but is applicable to all data in the custody and control of executive branch agencies. The plan was required to be developed in accordance with Public Act 18-175. Specifically the Act requires that the state data plan shall:

include specific, achievable goals within the two years following the adoption of such plan, as well as longer term goals;

make recommendations to enhance standardization and integration of data systems and data management practices across executive branch agencies;

provide a timeline for the review of any state or federal legal concerns or other obstacles to the internal sharing of data among agencies, including security and privacy concerns; and

set goals for improving the open data repository.

The plan is required to be updated every two years.

The underlying Public Act requires that information technology actions and initiatives of executive branch agencies must be consistent with the plan. Further, the Chief Data Officer is required to establish procedures for each agency to report on its progress toward achieving the goals articulated in the plan.

The plan is organized around Principles which represent a framework under which state agencies should organize and operate; Focal Points which represent areas where agencies should emphasize the sharing, integration, and availability of data; and Goals which represent the desired outcomes of plan implementation.
